(Man at dinner table) Bet you don't know what a male swan is called. (Woman at dinner table) Sure I do. A swine.

At the dinner table when I was very little, I would hear people bickering – the father saying something, the mother choosing to defend herself. To escape the bickering, I started modelling the soft bread with my fingers. With the dough of the French bread – sometimes it was still warm – I would make little figures. And I would line them up on the table and this was really my first sculpture.
Louise Bourgeois
There was Your Humble Narrator Alex coming home from work to a good hot plate of dinner, and there was this ptitsa all welcoming and greeting like loving....I had this sudden very strong idea that if I walked into the room next to this room where the fire was burning away and my hot dinner laid on the table, there I should find what I really wanted....For in that other room in a cot was laying gurgling goo goo goo my son....I knew what was happening, O my brothers. I was like growing up.
Anthony Burgess
A man is in general better pleased when he has a good dinner upon his table, than when his wife talks Greek.
Samuel Johnson
The dinner table was Wilde's event and made him the greatest talker of his time…
Oscar Wilde
But maybe you're just as glad he’s not a shrink, eh? Awful to have your spouse analyzing your unconscious desires across the dinner table, eh?
Ursula K. Le Guin
